KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:344434

$65.99

Description

Help restore factory-designed ride control with the KYB shock absorber you searched for — the Excel-G, P/N 344434. This nitrogen gas-charged shock drops in as a direct-fit rear replacement for the 2000-2005 Ford Taurus and 2000-2005 Mercury Sable, calibrated to bring back the vehicle's original, designed damping rather than change it.

Part of KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) line, this KYB gas shock absorber Excel-G is built on the same KYB assembly lines and with the same quality components used for KYB's OE work.

Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design: the core Excel-G construction preferred by many professional technicians.
Triple lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves: tuned to correctly manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
Supports electronic safety systems: helps keep suspension, brakes and tires performing as the vehicle manufacturer intended.

This is a rear-position shock. Shocks are sold individually — for even, balanced handling, replace both rear shocks as a matched pair. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment.
